It is in this spirit that, beginning in July, the RTW Report will publish a two-part report on the history of the technological boom/bust cycle and how this history can illuminate the current state of the Internet revolution. The first half, “The Mother of All Chasms” will expand Geoffrey Moore’s market development model to cover the entire history of Information Technology. The promise of information technology has yet to be fulfilled but the industry is at an inflection point, enabled by the Internet, when investment in technology will begin to produce healthy returns. This report will examine the challenges and opportunities ahead for the technology industry today as it begins to deliver real economic benefits. The second half, “The Long Harvest” will present a mutli-decade model of technology maturity, drawn from examples of previous technology boom-bust cycles, to demonstrate that we are entering a long period of prosperity fueled by the Internet and the risk taking work of thousands and thousands of entrepreneurs. This period of prosperity is “The Long Harvest”, when the fruit of the seeds planted during the boom/bust cycle are gathered. What is the RTW report? I'd like to read this. Its not an excerpt from a new Geoff Moore book is it - that would be a worthwhile read also, imo. L
